In this planet-wide rising tide of [[right-wing populism]], the [[liberal]] left commands only a few disconnected islands — [[Iceland]], [[Mexico]], [[New Zealand]], [[South Korea]], [[Spain]], [[Uruguay]]... Worse, crafty operators with even more ambitious agendas stand ready to destroy the liberal status quo once and for all."<ref>[https://www.thenation.com/article/tom-dispatch-combatting-the-new-right/ Combating the New Right] by John Feffer, ''The Nation'', May 13, 2019</ref>}}

Professor [[Eric Kaufmann]] says about a graph showing the correlation between the projected growth of the Muslim propulation and the rise of right-wing nationalism in a country:
{{Cquote|Figure 1 shows an important relationship between projected Muslim population share in 2030 and support for the populist right across 16 countries in Western Europe. Having worked with IIASA World Population Program researchers who generated cohort-component projections of Europe’s Muslim population for Pew in 2011, I am confident their projections are the most accurate and rigorous available. I put this together with election and polling data for the main West European populist right parties using the highest vote share or polling result I could find. Note the striking 78 percent correlation (R2 of .61) between projected Muslim share in 2030, a measure of both the level and rate of change of the Muslim population, and the best national result each country’s populist right has attained."<ref>[https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2017/03/18/why-the-fear-of-islamization-is-driving-populist-right-support-and-what-to-do-about-it/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Europp+%28EUROPP+-+European+Politics+and+Policy+at+LSE%29 Why the fear of Islamization is driving populist right support – and what to do about it], Eric Kaufmann</ref>}}
Samuel P. Huntington's thesis on the ''The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order'' keeps getting vindicated.
In September 2018, Pew Research indicated: "Due to the decline of the center-left across much of Western Europe and the comparative steadiness of the center-right, most Western European countries are led by center-right parties, as measured by the party of the prime minister or other head of government."<ref>[https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/09/12/swedish-election-highlights-decline-of-center-left-parties-across-western-europe/ Swedish election highlights decline of center-left parties across Western Europe] by Kyle Taylor</ref> In June 2014,'' Forbes'' reported that it is undeniable that politically right wing parties are ascendant in Europe.<ref>[https://www.forbes.com/sites/stratfor/2014/06/04/europes-deep-right-wing-logic/ Europe's Deep Right-Wing Logic] By Robert D.
